Our Values

What makes it possible to achieve our vision is our adherence to our values. A company is only as
good as the values its management and staff embody every day, in every interaction, both with
customers and with fellow employees. Our values are simple:

Honesty

We strive for integrity, truthfulness and straight forwardness and we expect our people to act
accordingly.

Respect

We expect every member of the Celestyal Cruises family to appreciate his or her coworkers and
our guests and to treat each of them with consideration, courtesy and kindness.

Teamwork

We expect every member of staff to work cooperatively with others, both on his or her own team
and with all other teams.

Trust

Reliance on integrity and transparency in all dealings. Having confidence and hope. Maintaining
confidentiality where needed.

Corporate Responsibility

Celestyal Cruises is deeply committed to sustainability and ethical business practices. The company actively supports the local communities in the destinations it visits, particularly in the field of education. Since 2015, more than 2000 students on the Greek islands of Milos, Patmos, Samos and Ios have enjoyed a ‘journey to knowledge’, by attending specialized educational programs, initiated by Celestyal Cruises. Additionally, Celestyal Cruises supports cultural NGOs to promote youth entrepreneurship, marine student development and child welfare.

ISO Certification

The entire spectrum of Celestyal Cruises’ ship management, including technical, hotel and crew management, and offices, are certified in accordance with ISO 9001/14001 standards. The certifying authority is DNV-GL, which is by widely recognized as the biggest and most respected rating agency in the marine industry.
